I think the best way would be to design the cnc with help, and learn from the forum with help from people like you. Thanx again much appreciated.
I think that's by far the best way as not only will you be able to service it, repair it and upgrade it yourself easily but you'll get a far better understanding of how it works.

My budget is about a £1000 and i would like it to be a stable machine dont really want too many problems in the long run as i would be using it for work. Would be nice if I can cut aluminium, mdf, ply, composits and acrylic sheets.

Thats about all of it really,
For that you should be able to get a CNC machine that will be able to do what you want it to...will be tight but doable from what I've seen

I will re attempt some design work today based on the information you gave me and see how I can implement it in to the design. I hope by doing this I have a perfectly designed and well understood cnc machine :-)

Thanx again
That's it...before you know it you'll be hooked and forever tweaking it or planning your next build ;)
